Introduction 1 - 1

Introduction

Note: The procedures written in this manual assume that you are a network

administrator. Be sure to consult your network administrator before doing any

configuration.

Note: Refer to the manual that comes with the printer for information on

physically installing the Network Interface Board and cabling.

Features

•

Support for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T

•

The Network Interface Board is compatible with NetWare (IPX/SPX), Windows NT

(TCP/IP, NetBEUI), Windows 95/98 (TCP/IP, NetBEUI),and Macintosh (AppleTalk)

protocols. This allows you to use the printer in a network that uses different protocols

and operating systems.

•

A computer used as a dedicated print server is not required, because the Network

Interface Board can be configured as a NetWare print server.

•

The Network Interface Board can connect the printer to the network without requiring

its own power supply as the Network Interface Board is installed inside the printer.

This manual contains detailed instructions on configuring your printer for using as a network

printer. The actual procedures may differ depending on your network environment. Use the

procedures for your network environment.

The Network Interface Board allows you to set up your printer in a NetWare environment as a

print server or a remote printer. A dedicated NetWare print server is not required. If a dedicated

print server is being used, you should configure your printer as a remote printer.

Configuring Windows 95/98

The Multi Direct Print Application supports the TCP/IP protocol and the NetBEUI protocol.

Consult your network administrator before selecting the protocol.

Limitation

When you use the NetBEUI protocol, you cannot print to a printer which is located on the other

side of a router.

Note: You can use both TCP/IP and NetBEUI protocols in a computer. To use

both protocols you must first install them.

You can use your printer as a network printer with Windows 95 and Windows 98 using the

Multi Direct Print application, and TCP/IP or NetBEUI protocols. This chapter explains how to

configure your printer and Windows.

Configuring Windows 95/98

2 - 2 Windows 95/98 Configuration

Preparing to Use the TCP/IP Protocol for Printing

Configuring the Printer

Configure your printer to use the TCP/IP protocol.

•

Confirm that the TCP/IP protocol is set to be active. (The factory default is active)

•

Assign an IP address and make other settings required for using the TCP/IP

protocol.

For more information on how to make the above settings, refer to the Operator Guide for your

printer.

Note: After setting the IP address, use the PING command to confirm that it has

been set correctly.

1. Click [Start], point to [Programs], and then click [MS-DOS Prompt].

2.

Enter the following. (Example IP address is 192.168.15.16)

C:> ping 192.168.15.16

If the address has been configured correctly, the following message appears.

Reply from 192.168.15.16: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32

If the address has been configured incorrectly, the following message appears.

Request timed out.

applications before beginning the installation process.

Note: You must install Multi Direct Print and the appropriate printer driver in

order to print. If you print, using the TCP/IP protocol, to be able to browse the

printer via the network, PRINTER MANAGER FOR CLIENT needs to be

installed. If the installer starts automatically with the AutoRun program, you

can install both of these programs. For more information on how to install these

programs, refer to the Operator Guide for your printer.
